Taylorsville rolls past East Union in 2A finals

PEARL - Brody Bray drove in four runs with a triple and a double and Sam Walley went the distance on the mound as Taylorsville defeat East Union 12-1 in the first game of the Class 2A State Championship series this afternoon at Trustmark Park.

The Tartars (29-4) can win the school's sixth state title and second in the past three seasons by winning Game 2 at 1:30 p.m. Friday. East Union (22-15) must win Friday to force a deciding third game on Saturday.

Taylorsville jumped on the Urchins for five runs in the top of the first inning, and never looked back.

Walley, a senior right-hander, allowed five hits, struck out seven and walked two, keeping East Union off the scoreboard until the bottom of the seventh, after the Tartars had scored five runs in the top of the inning.

In today's first game, Nanih Waiya moved one step closer to its third consecutive Class 1A state title with a 7-1 win over Greenville St. Joseph.

Later today, Pascagoula faces New Hope in the Class 5A finals and Newton County takes on Lewisburg in Class 4A.
